A few Sticky Buns

Ed is on his Sunday morning walk in the woods with Ernie and George is having his first lie in for weeks so I’ve just got time to share my sticky buns with you.

There are many, many more buns to be found on thingswemake but I like this recipe as it’s not too greedy and is ‘just enough’ when you want something ridiculously sweet with a cup of tea. Make them on a leisurely Saturday morning and they’re available when you need a sticky pick-me-up on those gaps between meals.

Perfect for us because there are 3 each: Saturday, mid-afternoon snack, after-dinner easy pudding and Sunday morning elevenses. Then they are gone, with no trace of evidence…until I make them again next weekend.

My fingers were far too icing coated to get the big camera out so here are a couple of Instagrams of various incarnations of buns. It’s much easier to lick icing off a phone screen than from an SLR.

Hope you have a Happy Sunday.

A few sticky buns from thingswemake

Be warned…these are super sweet!

For the bread:

225g (8oz) strong white bread flour

25g (1oz) caster sugar

¼ tsp salt

25g (1oz) softened butter

1 ½ tsp fast action dried yeast

1 medium egg, beaten

90ml (3 fl oz) warm semi-skimmed milk*

*I sometimes replace some of the milk and 20g of the flour with a ladle full of sourdough starter.

Hi @thingswemake. so so sorry i just saw your comment on my blog post regarding the bundt pan only today. you may have already made up your mind about the bundt pan, but heres my take:
i honestly would go for the metal bundt pans, well not just for bundt for any cake i would opt for the metal one purely because i think it gives a better result with regard to maintaining heat and such. The bundt pan irrespective of metal or silicone i think it needs to be greased really well as its a bit of a struggle to release. but yes the mini bunts are more like a muffin cake size.
Hope this has helped. Have fun baking 🙂
